So my friend gave me this little thing hatched from some eggs a friend gave her. Not sure what it is.
It is difficult to see, but the yellow feet have a line of feathering (a single line) going in towards the inner toe.
A black and white head, something a few of my EEs have, but the...
I don't post here much, but I do come here a lot when I have an inquiry and it is usually taken care of through the forums without the need to post. So for that I say, "Thank you," to everyone who has helped me with my flock ;)
A good news story- A long long time ago I posted that one of my...
One of my hens (I got most of them together) has always had raised, abnormal scales on her feet. I bathed her, didn't do anything, I put vitamin supplements in their water and all that. I thought of trying a vegetable oil dip. I clean their coop more than most people. The rest look fine which is...
Fertile, interested in the well being of his girls and I've seen no signs of injury. Beautiful boy, but I have no need for him. No clue on the breed but he looks like a red old english, I suppose. Just giving him a chance :) You would have to pick him up locally or I could possibly deliver to...
Picked up a few hens (and the most adorable little bannie roo) from a friend on Saturday and a couple in the bunch sound a little... Gurgly. I mean real raspy when they breath, they're all active but the roo and some of the girls sound not-so-good. Not gonna wait this out, I have a TSC and a...
Now that my coop is finished I get to start thinking about what birds I want to get. I currently have a pekin duck of questionable gender and a leghorn hen. I love the dark brown eggs of marans but I have also heard they don't lay as often... I really don't know what is the best breed. When it...
Have any of you got a duck that was not socialized to humans? Were you able to tame it?
I had three pekin ducks a friend gave me from a straight run she got. These weren't little babies when she got them and hey all ended up being males. They were so scared of me from day one they'd literally...
So with my new coop almost done, and the ducks going to a new home(s) I am left with my one single hen, Olive. Olive is a feisty and lovable (I really do adore her) leghorn. I'd like to get a few more hens now so I don't have to put Olive in the basement every night (and to keep the ladies at...
This is (was) the old coop when we first set it up. It was heavily reinforced with more fencing and a top made with plastic mesh fencing with fencing and more fencing to reinforce the fencing. Even the door gaps had wire over it so you couldn't open it all the way. It was a mess. Actually, it...
<- My two leghorns, Olive & Ivy taking a dust bath!
They love them so much! Happy sounds. When I took this video I thought the one with a floppy comb, Olive was a boy- Then I realized that SHE was the one laying the eggs and the other was just stunted! Ivy passed away though which is sad. She...
First time posting, long time lurker... Didn't post this in the "For Sale" because I'd rather they go free to someone who likes ducks.
In August a friend of mine gave me three pekin ducks from a group she purchased for her farm. She thought they were female but they were already a few months...
